Property description

Enjoy the privacy and serenity of this tranquil property that borders the historic town center and offers the best of both worlds: the seclusion of a vast wooded setting and the convenience of nearby routes 2 and 495. A long private driveway leads you to this most idyllic house setting where one will find a romantic country estate with old world charm and endless potential. Enjoy the expansive layout and period details that inspire you to restore this home to its original charm and beauty. Looking for a retreat or family compound? Looking to expand/renovate or build new? All are possible at Joy Hill, a 30 plus acre estate in Harvard. Landscaped grounds, inground pool, new 6 bedroom septic installed in 2011. An ANR lot along Mass Ave can be sold off, or built upon, and the potential for two other lots along the common driveway are possible for someone looking to create a compound in future years. A beautiful property!
